Key points of Mohammad Hossein Bagheri’s remarks, Director of the Iqbal Think Tank, in an interview with Channel 92 in Pakistan.

The primary objective of the United States and Israel toward Iran is regime change. Given Iran’s domestic capabilities in missile production, self-sufficiency in essential needs, and its defensive structure, the country has the ability to sustain military resistance for more than a year.

As human costs for the United States increase and Iran’s political structure remains stable—even in the event of assassinations of senior officials—the U.S.–Israel front will eventually be forced to request a ceasefire.

The United States has once again made a miscalculation and, under pressure from the Israel lobby and Netanyahu, has been pushed toward confrontation with Iran.

Based on historical experience, the Iranian nation, despite internal protests and disagreements, becomes highly unified in the face of foreign military intervention and shows a defensive response. Recent bombings have not weakened the system; instead, by strengthening patriotic sentiment, they have brought people into the streets with calls for retaliation, effectively defeating the idea of achieving regime change through military force.

The military objectives of the Islamic Republic, within a deterrence strategy, are focused solely on U.S. bases and interests in the region, and Iran has no intention of violating the territorial integrity of its neighbors.

Attacks on Saudi oil facilities (Aramco) and attributing them to Iran are described as a Mossad plot to damage Tehran–Riyadh relations, and Iran has strongly denied any involvement in such attacks.
